For the benefit of my friends and family who do not understand what is going on in Nigeria.
Nigeria is a tribal nation.
We have different tribes within the country.
We have our different languages in Nigeria. I do not understand Hausa, Igbo languages. I speak Yoruba and Owo my ancestral dialect.
We have different cultures.
We have different traditions.
We have different opinions.
We have three major religions.
We have different ancestors and ancestral beliefs.
We have different Way of life and living.
Nigeria as a country can be divided into the South, East, North and West for easy identification.
We do not understand one another's languages, so we speak English language or pidgin, a form of creole.
Fulanis are from Arabs and they recide in Northern Nigeria.
They are nomadic. They move with their cows.
They are Muslims.
They were peacefully living with their kinsmen in Northern Nigeria, the Hausas.
They speak different languages though.
A few years ago, Fulani Began to migrate to the East, South and West, they left their Northern states. For green pasture in the West and south and east. That's what they say.
If you look at the map of Nigeria, you will discover that the Northern part is bigger than both South, East and West combined together.
Suddenly, we were told that the Fulani in Northern Nigeria wants land in every state of Nigeria.
Now, the president of Nigeria, a Fulani man said that we should give some portions of our land to Fulani herdmens.
Easier to say because he is fighting for his tribemen.
This is because the president and the cabal in Northern Nigeria are ruling.
Southern Nigerians are fewer in population and in land mass. We are majorly farmers, tilling our land.
How can a people with so much land and resources move down from the North to the south to encroach on our farmland. ....!
We dare not complain, it will result in kidnapping and murder.
Our farm became their grazeland.
How can a poor farmer in Southern Nigeria work for a bunch of herdsmen from Northern Nigeria?
Fulani herdsmen commit crime with impunity, we dare not speak against them, and please, for how long?
Some of our leaders in Western Nigeria said No. We do not want herdsmen on our farm land.
It is our ancestral land.
Southern Nigerians can never travel to Northern Nigeria to demand for land.
We are content with whatever our ancestors and Almighty God handed over to us, and we want to hand over to our own children too.
Is this too much to ask!
Now imagine Fulani herdsmen, traveling for months down to Owo to take over our ancestral land , free of charge, Is that not insane!
We dare not visit their land. I don't even know the road to their ancestral land.
Now we live I fear. Because our brothers from Fulani North think it is right to lay ownership on my own fathers farm.
Who does that? Fulani herdsmen.
Atiku Abubakar, a Fulani man, is now contesting to become the new president again, another 8 years under another Fulani man.
Please remember us in your daily prayers, people of Goodwill.
